Head of Events – Premium Meeting & Events Venue
King's Cross | Monday–Friday | Growth Opportunity
Hired-Hospitality is proud to partner with a design-led, privately owned hospitality and events group in King's Cross to appoint an exceptional Head of Events for one of the area's most versatile and sought-after meeting and events venues.
This is a standout leadership opportunity within a creative, multi-site hospitality business spanning boutique hotels, restaurants, and distinctive event spaces — each known for individuality, quality, and memorable guest experiences.
The King's Cross venue features multiple contemporary meeting rooms, a large studio-style events space, and a rooftop terrace, hosting everything from high-profile corporate gatherings and brand events to private celebrations and executive meetings.
We are seeking a commercially driven, relationship-focused Head of Events to lead sales performance, elevate client experience, and inspire a small, high-performing events team.
You'll bring strong market credibility from a premium hotel, conference, or events environment and combine strategic sales leadership with hands-on operational excellence.
As Head of Events:
You will own the commercial and operational success of the venue — driving revenue, building key corporate relationships, and ensuring flawless event delivery.
You'll lead from the front: converting enquiries, hosting clients, developing proactive sales pipelines, and collaborating closely with hospitality operations to deliver exceptional experiences.
Key responsibilities
Lead and convert reactive and proactive event sales
Build and maintain high-value corporate client relationships
Drive revenue strategy and performance vs. market
Oversee planning and execution of all events
Inspire, mentor, and develop the events team
Host site visits and represent the venue at networking events
Analyse performance and produce sales reporting
Ensure operational excellence across all event spaces
Collaborate seamlessly with wider hospitality teams
